Use the balances computed in 4-C for the General Fund and special revenue fund portions of this statement.
b.Prepare a Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances for the governmental funds for the City of Monroe for the Year Ended December 31, 2015. Include the same funds as listed in requirement
a plus the City Jail Construction Fund
8C. Assemble the following from previous continuous problems: (1) the governmental funds Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances from Section 5C; (3) the proprietary funds Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Assets from Section 6C.
Required:
1. Start a worksheet for adjustments, using the trial balance format illustrated in the text (i.e. list accounts with debit balances first, then accounts with credit balances). Enter the balances from the governmental funds financial statements prepared for Section 5-C. When doing this, follow the following guidelines:
Net Assets: Use a single account for net assets (which will include the beginning balance of all fund balance accounts).
Intergovernmental Revenues: When setting up the worksheet, set up separate lines for the intergovernmental revenues as follows:
State Grant for Highway and Street Maintenance $ 1,072,000
Operational GrantGeneral Government 332,000
Capital GrantPublic Safety 1,320,000
total $2,724,000
Capital Assets: It is not necessary to set up separate lines for different classes of capital (fixed) assets or accumulated depreciation (simply use one row for Capital Assets and another for Accumulated Depreciation).
Confirm that the total debits and credits equal.
2. Prepare worksheet entries and post to the worksheet for the following items. Identify each adjustment by the letter used in the problem:
a. Record the January 1, 2015 balances of general fixed assets and related accumulated depreciation accounts. The City of Monroe had the following balances (excluding Internal Service Funds):
Totals Cost $ 65,900,000
Accumulated Depreciation $29,800,000
b. Eliminate the capital expend itures shown in the governmental funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances.
c. Depreciation expense (governmental activities) for the year totaled $ 5,750,000.
d. Eliminate the other financing sources from the sale of bonds by recording a liability for bonds payable and the related premium.
e. As of January 1, 2015, the City of Monroe had $12,000,000 in general obligation bonds outstanding.
f. Eliminate the expenditures for bond principal.
g. Accrue interest in the amount of $328,000. (Two bond issues were outstanding; interest payments for both were last made on July 1, 2015. The computation is as follows: ($11,200,000 .03 6/12) + ($4,000,000 . 08 6/12) = $328,000).
h. Adjust for the interest accrued in the prior year government-wide statements, but recorded as an expenditure in the 2015 fund basis statements, ($12,000,000 .03 6/12) = $180,000.
i. Amortize bond premium in the amount of $ 10,000.
j. Make adjustments for additional revenue accrual. The only adjustment is for property taxes to eliminate the currentyear deferral of property taxes.
k. Adjust for the $21,000 of property taxes that was deferred in 2014 and recognized as revenue in the 2015 fund-basis statements.
l. Assume the City adopted a policy in 2015 of allowing employees to accumulate compensated absences. Make an adjustment accruing the expense of $ 39,500 Charge compensated absences expense.
m. Bring in the balances of the internal service fund balance sheet accounts. Again, use a single account for all capital assets and a second account for all accumulated depreciation balances (use aseparate column of the worksheet to enter Internal Service Fund entries).
n. No revenues from internal service funds were with external parties. Assume $3,200 of the $11,200 Due from Other Funds in the internal service accounts represents a receivable from the General Fund and the remaining $8,000 is due from the enterprise fund. Eliminate the $3,200 interfund receivables.
o.Reduce governmental fund expenses by the net operating profit of internal service funds. As the amount is small, reduce general government expenses for the entire amount.
p. Eliminate transfers that are between departments reported within governmental activities.
